79、 when I had to wait for everything.The mail came once a day, and I can still recall the _21_ of expecting the Mad magazine or some cheap items I had _22_. Classic movies were shown on television, and one could learn about them a week _23_ from TV Guide. And of course, one had to be at home at the _2

102、明翰接受本科教育的学生，学生与希望是主动关系，所以用现在分词，故填wishing。【37题详解】考查定语从句。句意：以优异成绩完成全国高等教育入学考试(National Higher Education Entrance Examination，简称高考)的高中生，无需先完成预科课程，就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。此处High school students是先行词，指人，在后面的定语从句中作主语，故填who。【38题详解】考查介词。句意：以优异成绩完成全国高等教育入学考试(National Higher Education Entrance Examination，简称高考)的高中生，
103、无需先完成预科课程，就可以申请直接进入伯明翰的学位课程。介词without后面跟动名词作宾语，再根据第一句伯明翰大学承认中国高考成绩，所以无需先完成预科课程，故填without。【39题详解】考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意：6月初在中国各地举行的高考，越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆所接受。此处指目前的一种客观事实，且定语从句的主语which（Gaokao）和hold之间是一种被动关系，所以句子用一般现在时态的被动语态，故填is held。【40题详解】考查副词。句意：6月初在中国各地举行的高考，越来越多地被澳大利亚、美国、加拿大和欧洲大陆所接受。此处accepted是动词，由副
104、词来修饰，故填increasingly。【41题详解】考查名词复数。句意：伯明翰只会考虑那些在高考中取得至少80%的高分，并满足额外的学术和英语要求的高质量学生。要求不止一个，此处用名词复数，故填requirements。【42题详解】考查形容词。句意：我很高兴这所大学现在接受高考。be delighted意为“感到高兴”，故填delighted。【43题详解】考查形容词最高级。句意：这给了最聪明、最优秀的中国学生。根据the和best可知，此处用形容词最高级，故填brightest。【44题详解】考查不定冠词。句意：有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年，体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处表示
105、泛指，且opportunity是以元音音素开头，故填An。【45题详解】考查形容词。句意：有机会直接进入我们的本科课程的第一年，体验在全球百强大学学习的好处。此处用形容词修饰名词，故填global。【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点：第一、找准先行词；第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词，如本题中先行词为名词High school students，再分析先行词High school students在定语从句中所作的成分，将先行词High school students带到从句中可知，只能作主语，故确定关系词为who。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节（满分15

120、，因为我一直都是一个害羞的人，甚至不敢在公开场合大声说话。第二段的开头是：听了萨瑟老师的话，我意识到是时候做出改变了。我决定脱掉害羞的斗篷。我想证明我也可以在公开场合把事情做好。犹豫片刻后，我点了头，自信地说：“萨瑟老师，我想，不，我决定扮演这个角色，并且我会尽全力把它表演好。”面带微笑地看着我，萨瑟老师说：“我相信你，如果有什么问题，你尽管来找我。”“谢谢你！”我开心地离开了她的办公室。续写时要注意时态，续写内容要符合人物特点和逻辑。【点睛】范文内容完整，要点全面，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了一些高级表达，例如：I wanted to prove that I also could do something good in public.中that引导宾语从句；Looking at me with a big smile on face, Mrs Sather said I believe in you. If you met some problem, you can turn to me.中使用了现在分词短语作状语。
